I know I have asked before but thought maybe something new has come out. All my jigs are mixed due to fishing in 2 states but only 1 requiring non lead. I asked warden and he said he has no way to tell.(last year)
have you tried using a magnet? lead won't stick and not for sure if tungsten will, but it might.
Lead is soft. Pick up a scale at Harbor Freight for cheap.
figure it this way. Tungsten is 1.74 times as heavy as lead. Take the same size lead jig as your tungsten jig and weigh them, the tungsten jig will be about 1.5 - 1.625 times as heavy ( because the hook and paint and stuff weighs the same for each jig) as the lead jig.
try dropping them on a counter top lead should sound like a denser thud and tungsten sounds metallic.kind of like picking zinc wheel weights out of my lead ones.i can easily put marks in lead with cutters but cant even scratch zinc.i don't know how to tell the diff between lead and titanium tho.by feel I could I think.
Hit it with a lighter it melts it lead
LOL.....let me guess when he's done testing the lures the ones left are tungsten.....😮
I'm gonna hit a tungsten jig with a hammer. I know what happens to lead....
I'm really perplexed by how you guys can't tell the difference....In hand..One feels like your average lead jig..The other, feels like it has double gravity on it!What's the problem?<°)))>{
The lack of that old style of parental teaching is just why the counties young'uns have no respect. Add to the loss of parental discipline the teachers not being able to either did not help.
